Acute myeloid leukemia, t(5;11)(q35;p15) is a type of leukemia that involves a specific chromosomal change. This change is known as a translocation where part of chromosome 11 at band p15 swaps with part of chromosome 5 at band q35. This translocation results in the formation of the NUP98/NSD1 fusion gene, which is associated with the development of the leukemia. This condition falls under the broader category of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is defined by this unique genetic abnormality. The description here focuses on the chromosomal anomaly that characterizes this type of leukemia.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

This condition is caused by a chromosomal abnormality. Specifically, there is a translocation between chromosome 11 (at p15) and chromosome 5 (at q35), which leads to the formation of the NUP98/NSD1 fusion gene. This genetic change is involved in the development of acute myeloid leukemia, t(5;11)(q35;p15).
